Why did my program bomb at run time with 'floating point formats not linked' or 'floating point not loaded'?

These messages look similar but have very different causes.
"Floating point not loaded" is Microsoft C's run-time message when the
code requires a numeric coprocessor but your computer doesn't have one
installed. If the program is yours, relink it using the xLIBCE or xLIBCA
library (where x is the memory model).
"Floating point formats not linked" is a Borland run-time error (Borland
C or C++, Turbo C or C++). Borland's compilers try to be smart and not
link in the floating- point (f-p) library unless you need it. Alas, they
all get the decision wrong. One common case is where you don't call any
f-p functions, but you have %f or other f-p formats in scanf() or
printf() calls. The cure is to call an f-p function, or at least force
one to be present in the link.
To do that, define this function somewhere in a source file but don't
call it:
static void forcefloat(float *p)
{
float f = *p;
forcefloat(&f);
}
It doesn't have to be in the module with the main program, as long as
it's in a module that will be included in the link.
If you have Borland C++ 3.0, the README file documents a slightly less
ugly work-around. Insert these statements in your program:
extern unsigned _floatconvert;
#pragma extref _floatconvert
